  • The Songgang-ri area, Cheongsong-gun, which is located in the Sobaeksan province of Yeongnam Massif near the southwestern boundary of Yeongyang subbasin of Gyeongsang Basin, consists of age unknown metamorphic rocks (banded gneiss, granitic gneiss, limesilicates) and age unknown igneous rock (granite gneiss) which intrudes them. This paper researched the geological structures of the Songgang-ri area from the geometric and kinematic features and the developing sequence of multi-deformed rock structures in the geological outcrops exposed about 170 m along the riverside of Yongjeoncheon in the eastern part of Songgang village, Songgang-ri. In the Songgang-ri geological outcrops are recognized three times (Fn, Fn+1, Fn+2) of folding, three times (Dk-I, Dk-II, Dk-III) intrusion of acidic dykes, one time of faulting, which are different in deformation and intrusion timing each other. These geological structures are at least formed by five times (Dn, Dn+1, Dn+2, Dn+3, Dn+4) of deformation. The Dn deformation is recognized by Fn fold which axial surface is parallel to the regional foliation. The Dn+1 intruded the (E)NE trending Dk-I dyke in the earlier phase and formed the NW trending Fn+1 fold in the later phase under compression of (E)NE-(W)SW direction. There are tight, isoclinal, intrafolial folds, boudinage, ${\sigma}$- or ${\delta}$-type boudins, asymmetric fold, C' shear band as the major deformed rock structures. The Dn+2 intruded the (N)NW trending Dk-II dyke in the earlier phase and formed NE trending Fn+2 fold in the later phase under compression of (N)NW-(S)SE direction. There are open fold and folded boudinage as those. The Dn+2 intruded the Dk-III dyke which cuts the Dk-I and Dk-II dykes and the axial surface of Fn+2 fold. The Dn+3 formed the left-handed reverse oblique-slip fault of NNE trend in which hanging wall moves into the SSE direction. Considering in that such five times of deformation recognized in the Songgang-ri geological outcrops are closely connected to the distribution and geological structure of the constituents in the more regional area as well as Songgang-ri area, the research result is expected to play a great data in clarifying and understanding the geological structure and its development process of the surrounding and boundary constituents of the Yeongnam Massif and Gyeongsang Basin.

  • The study area, located in Sinam-ri, Ulsan, in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, is mainly composed of hornblende granite (ca. 65 Ma). Fracturing and reactivation of a fault striking ENE-WSW was strongly controlled by the intrusion of a mafic dyke (ca. 44 Ma), which behaves as a discontinuity in the mechanically homogeneous pluton, increasing the instability of the basement in this area. A geometric and kinematic study undertaken to interpret the faults and fractures was performed in a trench excavated almost perpendicular to the orientation of the dyke. The analysis of structural elements, such as dykes, veins, and faults, is used to infer the deformation history and to determine the paleostress orientations at the time of formation of the structures. The deformation history established based on this analysis is as follows: (1) NNE-SSW, E-W, ENE-WSW, and NE-SW trending fractures had already developed in the pluton before dyke intrusion; (2) felsic dykes intruded under conditions of σHmax oriented N-S and σHmin oriented E-W; (3) mafic dykes intruded under conditions of σHmax oriented E-W and σHmin oriented N-S; (4) dextral reactivation of the main fault associated with the development of hydrothermal quartz veins under conditions of σHmax oriented E-W and σHmin oriented N-S; (5) sinistral reactivation of the main fault and high-angle normal faults under conditions of σHmax oriented NE-SW and σHmin oriented NW-SE; and (6) dextral reactivation of the main fault and NE-SW low-angle reverse faults under conditions of σHmax oriented NW-SE and σHmin oriented NE-SW. These results are consistent with the tectonic history of the Pohang-Ulsan block in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula, and indicates the tectonic deformation of the southern area of the Ulsan fault bounded by Yangsan fault was analogous to that of the Pohang-Ulsan area from the Cenozoic. This work greatly aids the selection of sites for critical facilities to prevent potential earthquake hazards in this area.

  • Seafloor morphology and manganese nodule occurrence were studied in the Korea Deep-sea Environmental Study (KODES) area, northeast equatorial Pacific, to understand their relationship. Study area is composed of three elongated valleys and hills with about 100~200 m height along NNE-SSW direction. Valley region is generally flat. However, hill region is very rugged with big cliffs of about 100m height and small depressions of several tens of meters depth. Tectonic movement along the Clarion-Clipperton fracture zone, consequent formation of elongated abyssal hills and Valleys, erosion of siliceous bottom sediments by bottom currents, and dissolution of carbonate sediments on the abyssal hills below CCD result in the rugged morphology. Manganese nodule occurrence is closely related to the morphology of the study area; mostly rounded-shaped manganese nodules with about 5 cm diameter are abundant on the flat valley region, whereas irregular shaped nodules (or manganese crust) with less than 5 cm to about 1 m diameter occur on the hill. These results supports the previous reports that nodule abundance, composition, and morphology are variable both on regional and local small scales on the seafloor even within some abundant nodule provinces depending on oceanographic characteristics such as bathymetric features, surface sediment type, sediment thickness, and so on. We suggest that such oceanographic characteristics affect interrelatedly on the formation of manganese nodules, and tectonic movement of the Pacific plate ultimately constrain the nodule occurrence. A potential mining place in the KODES area seems to be the valley region, which is elongated to the NNW-SSE direction with 3-4 km width.

  • It is necessary to consider various geological parameters such as lithology, geological structure, earthquake, hydraulic geology, geochemistry, geological engineering, and geothermal in order to select potential sites for HLW(high-level radioactive waste) geological disposal. In particular, the geological lineament reflects the characteristics of various geological parameters and can be used as an important criterion for site selecting such as nuclear power plants and HLW repositories. In this paper, the Finnish lineament classification method for HLW disposal site selection through the lineament analysis was applied to the lineament data in the Korean peninsula. For this purpose, we used previous lineament data from the KIGAM(Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources) and obtained new lineament data from the field geologists such as structural geologist, paleoseismologist, and geomorphologist. To ensure the reliability of the new lineament analysis data, we used high-resolution satellite images and hill-shade relief maps which were constructed by a digital elevation model. In the prevailing direction analysis from the acquired lineament data, the NNE-SSW direction was the most dominant, but the ENE-WSW and NNW-SSE directions also showed highly frequency depending on the experts. Applying the Finnish classification method, the geometrical development characteristics of the lineament corresponding to the Class 1 and 2 used for the wide-wide candidate site were compared. As a result of direction analysis for Class 1, the NNE-SSW direction was the most dominant and the WNW-ESE direction also showed a high frequency. In the case of Class 2, the NNE-SSW is the most prevalent and WNW-ESE or ENE-WSW direction also had highly frequency depending on the experts. Different lineament analysis results based on the same data are interpreted as a result of subjective experience and analytical criteria from the every experts. Therefore, it is necessary to establish integrated criteria and consider geophysical data for the publication of reliable nation-wide lineament map.

  • In order to outline the kinematics and movement history of a new Quaternary fault, Jingwan Fault in Dangjin, West Korea, we analyzed the geometry of the fault zone composed of a few gouge zones, and made ESR dating for fault gouge materials. The $N55^{\circ}E$ striking Jingwan Fault is a normal fault and exhibits a gradual change in dip (gentle in the lower part, steep in the upper part), indicating a listric fault. As for the fault gouge zone, its thickness varies and reaches 2~3 cm in the lower part or between basement rocks, and 20~30 cm in the middle-upper part or between the basement and Quaternary deposit. It is observed in the latter case that more than three gouge zones develop with different colors, and branch out and re-merge, or they are partly superimposed, indicating different movement episodes. The cumulative displacement is estimated to be about 10 m using the geological cross-sections, from which it is inferred that the total length of fault may be about 2.5 km on the basis of the empirical relation between cumulative displacement and fault length. Therefore, a more study would be needed to verify the entire fault length. The results of ESR dating for three gouge samples at different spots along the fault yields ages of $651{\pm}47$, $649{\pm}96$, and $436{\pm}66ka$, indicating at least two movement episodes. Slickenlines observed on the fault planes indicate a pure dip slip (normal faulting), which suggests that the ENE-WSW trending Jingwan Fault was presumably moved under a NNW-SSE extensional environment.

  • On July 21st in 2005, People's Bank of China (PBOC) turned the currency peg against the U.S. dollar into managed currency system based on a basket of unnamed currencies under China's exchanged rate regime. This change means that China's enterprises are not free from currency fluctuations. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relations between Renminbi fluctuations in the floating exchange rate and financial results of venture companies. The process and outcomes of this study are as follows, First, in order to measure the financial results of venture companies, I choose venture companies in Shandong Province listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) at random and several quarter financial sheets according to safety ratios, profitability ratios, growth ratios, activity ratios. Second, I arrange the daily Renminbi exchange rate data announced from July 21st, 2005 to December 31st, 2008 by PBOC into the quarterly data. Third, in order to confirm the relations between Renminbi fluctuations and financial results of venture companies, I carry out Pearson's correlation analysis. As a result, the revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi has weakly negative effects on debt ratio, total assets turnover ratio and equity turnover ratio in statistics. But the revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi is not related to other financial index in statistics. The result of this study is that the revaluation of the Chinese Renminbi has little influence on the export and import of Chinese venture companies and certifies the fact that Chinese venture companies have much foreign currency assets. In addition to avoid the currency exposure risk, this study shows the effective method about currency exposure risk which adjusts proportion of Renminbi to foreign currency.

  • This study clarifies the deformation history of Precambrian metamorphic rocks of Sobaegsan Massif (Wonnam Formation, Pyeonghae granite gneiss, Hada leucogranite gneiss) in Giseong-myeon area, Uljin-gun, Korea. It is based on the geometric and kinematic features and the developing sequence of multi-deformed rock structures. It also reviews the extension of Yecheon Shear Zone and the relative occurrence time of each deformation phase from previous researches. It suggests that the geological structure was formed at least through five phases of deformation after formation of their gneissosity or schistosity. (1) The first phase of deformation took placed under compression of ENE-WSW direction, forming NNW trending regional foliation and very tight isoclinal fold. The general trend of gneissosity or schistosity is inferred to be ENE before the first phase of deformation, being rearranged into NNW by the isoclinal folding. (2) The second phase of deformation formed ENE trending regional foliation and tight, isoclinal, rootless intrafolial folds under compression of NNW-SSE direction [occurrence time: after deposition (Permian age) of Dongsugok Formation, Pyeongan Croup, Janggunbong area]. (3) The third phase of deformation occurred by dextral ductile shearing on the regional foliation, forming stretching lineation of ENE trend and S-C mylonitic structure (after intrusion of Hesozoic homblende granite, Sangunmyeon area-before intrusion of Mesozoic Chunyang granite, Janggunbong area). (4) The fourth phase occurred under (E)NE-(W)SW compression, forming (N)NW trending open fold. (5) The fifth phase took place under N-S compression, forming NNE and NNW trending conjugate strike-slip faults, E-W trending thrust-slip faults, and drag folds related to these fault movements. The deformed structures of fourth and fifth phases result from tectonic movement associated with the developing of the Gyeongsang Basin in Cretaceous age, and it partially rearranged the general ENE trend of the regional foliation in the study area. It also suggests that the Yecheon Shear Zone of E-W trending extends into this area but the ductile shear deformation is weakly developed.

  • This study analyzed the ADCP records along with wind by KMA and discharge records at Seosan A-, B-district tide embankment by KRC for 33 days obtained in the Chunsu Bay, Yellow Sea, Korea spanning from July 29 to August 30, 2010. Various analyses include descriptive statistics, harmonic analysis of tidal constituents, spectra and coherence, complex correlation, progressive vector diagram and cumulative curves to understand the tidal and sub-tidal current characteristics caused by local wind and discharge effect. Observed current speed ranges from -30 to 40 (cm/sec), with standard deviation from 1.7 (cm/sec) at bottom to 18.7 (cm/sec) at surface. According to the harmonic analysis results, the tidal current direction show NNW-SSE. The magnitudes of semi-major axes range from 9.4 to 14.8 (cm/sec) for M2 harmonic constituent and from 4.4 to 7.0 (cm/sec) for S2, respectively. And the magnitudes of semi-minor axes range from 0.1 to 0.5 (cm/sec) for M2 and from 0.4 to 1.4 (cm/sec) for S2, respectively. In the spectral analysis results in the frequency domain, we found 3~6 significant spectral peaks for band-passed wind and residual current of all depth. These peak periods represent various periodicities ranging from 2 to 8 (days). In the coherency analysis results between band-passed wind and residual current of all depth, several significant coherencies could be resolved in 3~5 periodicities within 2.8 (days). Highest coherency peak occurred at 4.6 (day) with 1.2-day phase lag of discharge to band-passed residual current. The progressive vector of wind and residual current travelled to northward at all layers, and the travel distance at middle layer was greater than surface layer distance. The Northward residual current was caused by a seasonal southern wind, and the density-driven current formed by fresh water input effected southward residual current. The sub-tidal current characteristics is determined by seasonal wind force and fresh water inflow in the Chunsu Bay, Yellow Sea, Korea.

  • Die vorliegende Arbeit verfolgt zwei Ziele: zum einen sollen die Entwicklungen in der modernen zweisprachigen Lexikographie mit Ausgangssprache Deutsch skizzenhaft vorgestellt und einige Forschungsdefizite benannt werden, zum anderen sollen die Ergebnisse und Methoden der neueren Lexikographie anhand von Beispielartikeln der drei $einschl\"{a}gigen$ deutsch-koreanischen $Gro{\ss}w\"{o}rterblicher$ kontrastiert und diskutiert werden. Zuerst wird eine Typologie der zweisprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ erstellt, derzufolge es jeweils 2 aktive und 2 passive Worterblicher pro Sprachenpaar gibt. Das Aktiv-Passiv­Prinzip gilt als ein grundlegender Ausgangspunkt $f\"{u}r$ die zweisprachige Lexikographie. Eine Erweiterung der Unterscheidungskriterien scheint nicht $zweckm\"{a}{\ss}ig$ und angesichts praktischer Schwierigkeiten auch kaum realisierbar. $Pl\"{a}diert\;wird\;f\"{u}r\;eine\;st\"{a}rkere\;Ber\"{u}cksichtigung$ der Benutzungssituationen, zu denen z.B. der Grad der Sprachbeherr­schung der jeweiligen Benutzergruppe, die $m\"{o}glichen\;Benutzungsanl\"{a}sse$, der Kenntnisstand $bez\"{u}glich$ der Benutzerhinweise sowie die technische Geschicklichkeit bei der $W\"{o}rterbuch-benutzung\;etc.\;zu\;z\"{a}hlen$ sind. In makrostruktueller Hinsicht werden die Selektion und die Anordnung der Lemmata diskutiert. Bei der Lemmaauswahl $w\"{a}re\;es\;w\"{u}nschenswert$, auf der Grundlage eines Lemmavergleiches der verschiedensten Quellenworterbucher ein datenbasiertes Korpus zu erstellen. Dazu $k\"{o}nnten$ folgende Materialien ausgewertet werden: (1) einsprachige allgemeine (ad spezielle) $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ (z.B. Deutsch/Koreanisch), (2) zweisprachige allgemeine (od spezielle) Worterblicher (z.B. Deutsch-Koreanisch, Deutsch-Englisch) etc. Die $blo{\ss}e\;\"{U}bersetzung$ lediglich eines einzigen $Quellenw\"{o}rterbuches\;k\"{o}nnte$ dagegen zu $unerw\"{u}nschten\;Einseitigkeiten\;f\"{u}hren$. Was die Anordnung der Lemmata in zweisprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ betrifft, $k\"{o}nnen$ dieselben drei makrostrukturellen Typen unterschieden werden, wie in einsprachigen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$: (1) glattalphabetisch, (2) nischenalphabetisch, (3) nestalphabetisch. Unter den zu untersuchenden $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ weisen das EDK und das HDK die nischenalpha­betische Makrostruktur auf, das MDK ist dagegen nestalphabetisch angeordnet. Je nachdem, wie die Polysemiestruktur und die Mehr-Wort-Einheit kombinieren, werden die drei Arten der Mikrostruktur unterschieden: (1) die integrierte Mikrostruktur, (2) die nichtintegrierte Mikrostruktur, (3) die partiell integrierte Mikrostruktur. $W\"{a}hrend$ das EDK und das HDKeine integrierte Mikrostruktur besitzen, weist das HDK eine partiell integrierte Mikrostruktur auf. Die Artikelgestaltung durch die nichtintegrierte Mikrostruktur, die $h\"{a}ufig$ in der zweisprachigen Lexikographie angewandt wird und entsprechende Vorteile besitzt, sallte $k\"{u}nftig\;als\;Gestaltungsm\"{o}glichkeit\;st\"{a}rker$in Betracht gezogen werden. In Bezug auf die Organisation der Mikrostruktur werden vier Bauteile, das sind Lemma-, $\"{A}quivalent-$, Diskriminator- und Beispielangaben untersucht. Die $\"{U}bersetzungs\"{a}quivalente$ werden je nach dem lexikalisch-semantischen Abdeckungsgrad mit dem Lemma in drei Typen eingeteilt: (1) $Voll\"{a}quivalent,\;(2)\;Teil\"{a}quivalent,\;(3)\;Null\"{a}quivalent$. In der Mehrheit kommen die Teil- oder $Null\"{a}quivalente$ vor, weil die ausgangssprachlichen Lemmata und die zielsprachlichen $\"{A}quivalente$ in sich Polysemiestruktur aufweisen. $Informationsm\"{a}ngel$ auszugleichen ist die Funktion des Diskriminators, in dem Glosse, Markierungen und metasprachliche $Erl\"{a}uterungen$ zusammenwirken. $Verbesserungsw\"{u}rdig\;sind\;die\;g\"{a}ngigen$ deutsch-koreanischen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ var allem im Hinblick auf die stilistischen Markierungen; die Inkongruenz des Stils zwischen den beiden verschiedenen Sprachen wird bislang zu wenig $ber\"{u}cksichtigt$ und sagar in ein und demselben $W\"{o}rterbuch$ nicht konsequent dargestellt. Trotz der relativen $Geringsch\"{a}tzung$ von Beispielangaben in der $europ\"{a}ischen$ zweisprachigen passiven Lexikographie sallte diesen in deutsch-koreanischen $W\"{o}rterb\"{u}chern$ mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidrnet werden. Sie sind dem koreanischen Benutzer eine wichtige Hilfe, indem sie die $\"{A}quivalentenangaben\;implizite\;erg\"{a}nzen$ und Informationen $\"{u}ber$ die syntaktisch-semantische und pragmatische Kontextrestriktion bieten. $Dar\"{u}berhinaus$ stellen sie selbst interessante kulturelle, geistige und landeskundliche etc. Informationen dar. Was den Artikelaufbau betrifft, wird das Van Dale-Modell diskutiert, d.h. das kategoriell-semantisch-alphabetische Prinzip, das trotz mancher Kritikpunkte viele interessante Anregungen $f\"{u}r$ die zweisprachige Lexikographie Deutsch-Koreanisch bietet, wo z.B. noch nicht die $Pr\"{a}positionen$ in der Beispielangabe durch typographische Hervorhebung $pr\"{a}sentiert$ worden sind. Aus $Platzgr\"{u}nden$ sind hier nur wenige Beispielartikel mit substantivischen Lemmata $angef\"{u}hrt$ und analysiert worden. Um die $h\"{o}here$ Generalisierbarkeit zu erreichen, brauchen die Untersuchungs- materialien mindestens einen bestimmten Umfang. Derartige empirische Forschungen $k\"{o}nnen$ als Impulse dazu beitragen, $k\"{u}nftige\;W\"{o}rterb\"{u}cher$ im Sinne einer $Ber\"{u}cksichtigung$ neuerer lexikographischer Erkenntnisse verbessern zu helfen.

  • The safety related components in the nuclear power plant should be designed to withstand the seismic load. Among these components the integrity of reactor internals under earthquake load is important in stand points of safety and economics, because these are classified to Seismic Class I components. So far the modelling methods of reactor internals have been investigated by many authors. In this paper, the dynamic behaviour of reactor internals of Yong Gwang 1&2 nuclear power plants under SSE(Safe Shutdown Earthquake) load is analyzed by using of the simpled Global Beam Model. For this, as a first step, the characteristic analysis of reactor internal components are performed by using of the finite element code ANSYS. And the Global Beam Model for reactor internals which includes beam elements, nonlinear impact springs which have gaps in upper and lower positions, and hydrodynamical couplings which simulate the fluid-filled cylinders of reactor vessel and core barrel structures is established. And for the exciting external force the response spectrum which is applied to reactor support is converted to the time history input. With this excitation and the model the dynamic behaviour of reactor internals is obtained. As the results, the structural integrity of reactor internal components under seismic excitation is verified and the input for the detailed duel assembly series model could be obtained. And the simplicity and effectiveness of Global Beam Model and the economics of the explicit Runge-Kutta-Gills algorithm in impact problem of high frequency interface components are confirmed.
